Thermalright PS120SE CPU Air Cooler, 7 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler,Dual 120mm TL-C12B V2 PWM Fan, AGHP 4.0 Technology, S-FDB Bearing, for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851, PC Cooler

Note that the cooler's size means one fan will likely interfere with non low profile RAM (Vengeance LPX). The fan that interferes (if it does) can be moved slightly upwards, which will not harm performance in any meaningful way but will look a bit worse.Reasonably quick to assemble, but do pay attention to the side the thermaltake logo and heap pipes are facing.Comes with thermal paste, keep in mind the paste is very thick so you may want an old card on hand to help with application (does not need to be spread if it's a large pea size dot near the center of the cpu, the cooler spread it out once applied). The card (or any other small edged tool - plastic to avoid scratching the cpu) will help with getting the paste to stop sticking to the applicator and moving the blob to the center of the cpu!Keeps even the Ryzen 9 9950x3d at good temps up to a 78 celcius max after sustained workloads, with minimal thermal throttling (cinebench scores remain high). The cooler is overall quiet (no AIO pump whir helps), well built (lifted the relatively heavy X870E Nova with it). And the fans are PWM adjustable with RGB support using the standard ARGB header.

Upgrading from the single tower, Thermalright Assassin 120SE (about $20).Installation was "okay". Directions are straightforward but the execution is kind of difficult. The screws for attaching the heatsink into the AM4 socket require a little pressure in order to make contact with the threads. Just be careful not to slip the screwdriver. Also, you might want to remove the motherboard for installation. Heatsink is pretty big so trying to clip the fans on or connect the fan wires while the motherboard is attached will be annoying to say the least.CPU temps dropped around 5-10C during load (70s down to 60s at 50%+ usage). Highest I've seen was a spike to 80C during 95-100% utilization which I would have seen starting at 60-70% load with the previous cooler.Sound-wise, I cant comment. I generally use an aggressive fan curve and wear headphones, so temps are reported at full speed (around 1500rpm).Setup is a 5600X and a 7900XT at default settings. Tested on games such as Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead Redemption 2 while streaming and/or recording using the x264 CPU encoder.Overall, great value and performance for the money.

This is the best CPU cooler I’ve ever used. Installation is made easy by the little bits of adhesive they put on the backplate, a pleasant surprise. The fans do make some noise, but an acceptable amount for the cooling they provide. The RGB looks great too. My overclocked 10850K pulling 210 watts running Cinebench is sitting around 80C. No other cooler that fits in my NR200 has given me this much thermal headroom, and I’ve tried three others. It fits comfortably in my Mini ITX build with plenty of clearance for the RAM. At $37 this is a no-brainer.

Nice RGB and cooling for the price. The fan noise is pretty good in games, but I have not had a chance to run a benchmark. I have built a few PCs before, but the screws for AMD board took some unexpected force to get them to catch correctly, but the process was straight forward. This model came recommended by a number of builders so I thought to give it a try, and I have to say I like the result.

Works great. Out of all the pc's I've built over the decades, I've always used air towers. My latest build saw me installing an Enermax AIO for dumb reason, and it failed miserably within two years, as did nine Enermax fans. This Thermalright is exactly what's needed. No more, no less. Just buy it. 30-35C idle and 54C max temps.

Good heat dissipation capability. Just hard to manage the wires.

This is awesome I wish I'd installed it sooner. I had a Corsair AIO water cooler and it never seemed to act right. I know it was installed correctly (i've built quite a few PC's over the decades), but for example sometimes the CPU block light would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. My CPU would run hot (5800x3d) and I felt that the AIO just wasn't working well enough. It WAS working, just not as well as I thought it should.Saw this cooler on Amazon for less than $40. and on impulse picked it up, and it sat under my desk for probably more than half a year. I just never seemed to have the time to take apart my desktop and remove the AIO and install this.Well last week I got tired of feeling like I had a space heater under my desk and finally swapped them out and the difference is like night and day. For one thing it blows the hot air 'back' instead of 'up' at me, and somehow it's about 5-8 degrees cooler. Which doesn't sound like a lot but it does make a difference. Maybe I should've used a 3 fan AIO instead of a 2 fan AIO, but I was worried the larger 3 fan wouldn't fit.The desktop is running fine, temps are low, this CPU cooler looks 'cool' and everything is running fine.I wish the fan aRGB wires were just a tiny bit longer, even just an inch or two would've been better. I had to run them down behind the MB and up through the bottom to get to the right header on my ASUS mb, and the cords just barely reached. But other than that there were no issues.the RGB for them is controlled by the Armoury Crate software and I've had no issues with it.All in all it's a great cooler and I'd recommend it pretty highly.

Very easy to install as a first time builder. I replaced my prebuilt fan with this one and it is so worth every penny. Very quiet, keeps my cpu cool, and best of all, it fits in my case! Very worth buying.
